Rated 5out of 5Sue & Liam, Holly, Kendal, Libby & Lincoln (the field spaniels) – December 2nd, 2024
This was our 2nd visit to this beautiful cottage at this time of year. Fabulous spot to come for a chill out. Lovely walks with the dogs, lovely meals out and just time to relax. The cottage is stunning and equipped with everything. Spotlessly clean and will definitely recommend. Thank you again.
Judy, Lev, Loki, Val & Willow – Nov 18 - 28, 2024
Fabulous cottage, felt at home immediately. Amazing walks from the doorstep which was great for the dogs. The garden is completely secure and the dogs had fun chasing the lights on the trees!! I don’t think we have ever stayed in a property where the dogs have slept so much. They just loved the underfloor heating. They have lived their best life for the last 10 days and they will be disappointed to go home! We have all enjoyed every minute. Thank you Sue & Sean
Joe and Terry (Luna and Judy) – October 18, 2024
Very well stocked with essential.Love the very secure garden.Very Nice!
Tina and Becka – October 14, 2024
A fleeting visit this time but already excited to be coming back for Christmas with the family. The minute I opened the front door it felt like home. It was so cosy, warm and welcoming. The cottage and location is perfectAbsolutely everything you can need is catered forAnd the special touches (like the additional dog tags!) are amazing to feel like your dog is truly welcomeHad a lovely meal in The Crown and the bar tender was friendly and chatty – no awkward feeling of being the stranger in the town. Leaving feeling refreshed and chilled – had a couple of nice beach walks too
Graham, Francesca and Sophie –September 28, 2024
When I first saw Ha’penny Cottage advertised on WAG facebook page it just seemed too true but we were not to be disappointed. We love it. It’s so cosy, clean, and well equipped. It’s truly dog-friendly. Our dog Sophie has been truly spoilt She preferred the bed that was here, rather than her own. We enjoyed visiting Mundesley, Overstrand, Cromer, Sheringham. We dined at the Vernon Arms by South Repps. (celebrating our 51st Wedding Anniversary) Definitely would recommend this pub We were amazed how dog friendly North Norfolk is and would certainly recommend to dog owning friends
Irene and Michael – September 21, 2024
Home from home everything you needed comfortable stay. It’s a great pity we couldnt do everything sowill be back…..Lovely long walks along the sandy beaches where the dogs plus us oldies could enjoy the peace…
Basil – August 31, 2024
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cottage! The facilities were top-notch, with every detail thoughtfully provided by the hosts. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we all had restful nights after our days of exploring. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, making our outings easy and convenient. What truly set this rental apart was how the hosts had thought of absolutely everything. We packed for all eventualities, but quickly discovered we didn’t need a thing—we were pleasantly surprised to find that every item we could possibly need was already supplied. From kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, it was clear that the hosts had gone above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. As a bonus, the cottage was incredibly dog-friendly, which was really useful for us. Our furry friend was made to feel just as welcome as we were, with thoughtful touches like dog bowls and a comfy bed provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!
Jackie Ian and Harry – August 24, 2024
This was our first holiday in Norfolk and it wont be our last. We have stayed in many dog friendly holiday cottages over the years but HaPenny Cottage has definitely been the best by far.You have thought of everything to make this a home from home and Harry settled straight away, something which normally takes several days. The welcome hamper of goodies for both hoomans and Harry, our 14 year old Westie was very thoughtful and delicious. The information book was very helpful when choosing the right places to visitWeve spent several days on both Bacton and Mundesley beach but have to say, Bacton was both ours and Harrys favourite. We also visited Pigneys Wood, Bacton wood, went on the Bure Valley Railway and took a boat trip from Wroxham on the Broads which Harry loved.This has been the most relaxing holday weve had in the UK and we hope to return for another stay in the cottage
Mechelle, Carol and fur baby Missy – August 10, 2024
It was our first visit to beautiful Trunch village. I was so happy words fail us all. We had everything we needed in this well equipped cottage, we were blessed with lots of sunshine , explored the local walk with Missy, explored the beaches, wasnt disappointed. Finished off having fish and chips at the Three Cottages fish restaurant. Explored both the Shire Horse Sanctuary at West Runton, made time to do Blickling Estate. Thank you so much for the amazing time. Missy enjoyed her treats and sleeping on the beautiful rug next to the fire. Thank you so much for adding all the small touches that made our stay so welcoming. Hope to stay here again in the future.

Weather changed and its been beautiful and hot for the full two weeks. The cottage is fantastic. So comfortable, well equipped and welcoming. The dogs loved it, everything here they needed. Great beaches nearby for the dogs to run. If you’re early enough there’s free parking on the road at Walcott with a great beach. Thank you Sue for making it a lovely holiday Hope to be back Thanks again
Frank Wendy and Tiggy – June 15, 2024
This is a beautifully appointed cottage. Dodging the showers, it was always great to come back here. We have stayed in many cottages in Norfolk and this one is up there with the best. A great place to be with easy access to Norfolks wonderful beaches, we had a lovely holiday in spite of the weather.Our dog Tiggy would also like us to add that she felt completely at home here. Dog friendly does not really express how welcoming it is to dogs. A very comfortable week – sunshine and warmth would have added even more but we had a lovely weekThank you
Kathryn, Steve and Obi (the Jedi) – May 25, 2024
Had a great week in Norfolk. The cottage is so well equipped, the best we’ve ever stayed inThe welcome hamper is a lovely touch, thank youWe loved our visit to Norwich Cathedral. No dogs allowed in the cafe but Harriets tea room in the city centre was very good.Sheringham is good for a wander around and a cuppa and the Vernon Arms was great for foodObi loved Mundesley beach for a run aroundOur highlight has to be the quiz night at The Crown. Obi enjoyed saying hello to everyone. We came last in the quiz (anagrams of Norfolk villages was a challenge!) but we were made to feel really welcome and had a great night
Third visit never disappointsShorter this time as we are moving to Norfolk and lots to do at home. We did have some nice weather. Darla loved her walks along the beaches. As usual sat in her favourite place at the window. The hamper is always a treat. Lovely peaceful few days. We loved coming back here whilst we looked for our own forever home in Norfolk.

The hamper was such a lovely gesture, thank youOur dogs have had a wonderful time, with walks from the door. Plenty of off lead, meeting other dogs and not getting into trouble. Trips out to Bacton beach, Winterton on Sea, and Mundesley. We enjoyed a stroll up to the Crown Inn for a pie and a pint. Lots of laughs with the local people – everyone made us very welcomeThe icing on the cake was the fabulous weather. Many thanks to Sean and Sue for the loan of this fabulous place. Most of all, thanks to Gail who as usual, organised everything to perfection!!

Fabulous cottage, so well equipped. We have stayed in a number of holiday cottages and this is the best by a long way Our miniature schnauzer Henry enjoyed the many local walks and Truch is so well located for exploring the area. The Vernon Arms is a local gem and the pies at the Crown are good.Everyone is very helpful and friendlyWe felt very relaxed not having to worry about doggy rules.Unfortunately the weather was not the best but it didnt really stop us doing anythingWe had a lovely lunch at the Sea Marge in OverstrandWe shall be back.

Fabulous week here in Norfolk. The cottage is beautiful so well equipped, great location and so comfortable. We had much needed sun as well. Enjoyed the village pub. Great walks and runs around the vicinity and only a coupe of miles to a lovely sandy beach. The welcome hamper was very well received, lovely bacon, biscuits and dog treats. Excellent hosts attentive and provided comprehensive info on the cottage. We will definitely be back

Phil Karen and Elland the Westie – March 6, 2024
Second visit to Ha’Penny Cottage (first visit Sept 2023) which speaks volumesAs before, contact from Sue the owner first class. Elland made herself at home straight away, she loves the memory foam rug and this time spent alot of time on the window seat acting as the local neighbourhood watchHad a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Ship Inn in Mundesley, took a trip to Sheringham Park then onto SheringhamVisited Trimingham beach which is great for dogsWent to Horsey Gap to see the seals but would not advise taking dogs here at the momentElland stayed in the car with Phil on this occasion. Didnt want to disturb the sealsFinally a trip to Trunch is not complete without a meal at the village pub, The CrownThanks again to Sue and Sea another 5* experience

We have had such a lovely week here! The girls loved the cottage and it was so nice to have a week of no barking as its so quiet round hereThe cottage has everything you would need and the fire was such a bonus. The girls loved to dry off in front of it after a soggy walk on the beachThank you for such a wonderful stay!!
Jemma, Ed and Barney the dog – February 15, 2024
Writing this on the last night of our perfect stay in HaPenny Cottage, we are so sad to be leaving tomorrow.We’ve had the best time exploring the area as well as relaxing in the cosy cottage. You’ve made coming on holiday with a dog (a particularly anxious one) so easy and we can’t thank you enough!We would love to come back again when the weather is a bit less soggy. But it didnt stop us enjoying ourselves.Thank you for everything

Everywhere was super clean and cosy, we loved how well the dogs are thought after, they have also had the best timeWe will 100% be back, thank you x
Mick Chris and Arlo – January 23, 2024
We had a wonderful stay at this fabulously well equipped comfortable cosy cottage. A genuinely dog friendly place, not just dog tolerant. With everything needed and more. We visited several different beaches, including Overstrand, Mundesley, and our favourite big sky beach at Holkham, Our five month old golden retriever pup was in his element – first time at the seaside and he loved it. Oh Cart Gap too! A big thank you to Gail who looked after our booking from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble, communications were brilliant. And to the owner Sue thank you both so much. We definitely would like to return here in the future. Pack Holidays service is second to none – Five Stars!!

Chris Knowles – January 29, 2024
We had a fabulous stay at Ha’penny Cottage. Rarely is accommodation so genuinely dog-friendly – from throws on the furniture, to the cushion on the windowsill, the fabulous rug by the fire and selection of bowls and toys, and a secure garden – our young Goldie settled in quickly and felt right at home. But for humans too the cottage has all you need for a very comfortable stay. Super-comfy bed, lovely bathroom, well-equipped kitchen, off-road parking.Gail at Pack Holidays was so friendly and helpful from booking enquiry through to swift return of our deposit after our stay, and the owner of the property quickly and positively responded to a query we had about the heating.We visited the pub in the village (more than once!), everyone was so friendly to us and the pup.This part of Norfolk has so much to offer, we went to a different beach everyday, and enjoyed exploring the local towns and villages. We would love to return in future!
Jan, Martin and Darla and Gucci – January 1, 2024
Our second stay here and just as good as the last. Everything we needed for holidaying with two dogs. They loved the therapy mat. The welcome hamper was amazing with the Christmas goodies. Comfortable bed – we did not try the new one but it looked so inviting.
The cottage is always lovely and clean and well equipped. We are returning this year!

Chris and Julie and Lexi – May 2023
Had a lovely time in this perfect house. Everything here you could possibly want. Just not a long enough visit. We had a short stay at this lovely house over the Coronation weekend. Everything in the house is perfect with everything you could need. The area is lovely with loads of footpaths, which we didn’t have much time to explore. My elderly collie loved the pretty garden and spent time just pottering about. We hope to return as our time here was much too short Thank you
Sue Graham Dougal and Yoyo – June 2023
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to stay here – we have loved every minute. I could live here! Had a wonderful week from 26 May – 2 June. This cottage was so comfortable and our boys were at home straight away. They loved all the new smells and the many walks around the village we found wonderful pubs and loved Hunworth Hall. We are hoping to come back for more peace and quiet lovely scenery and beautiful cottage thank you Sue and Sean
Jane, Judith, Rufus, Luke, Benny & Scruffy – June 2023
Fabulous week, love the house! Bit warm for the dogs but we managed woods in the morning and beach in the evening. Trunch is a perfect location, everything you need within 10 minutes!! Thanks again and we will be back.
PS found good circular walks from South Repps and from the old railway at Felmingham
Lou, Keith, Rufus and Waffle – June 2023
Fabulous week in your lovely cottage. You have thought of everything that might be needed. Our doggies loved it. Thank you for the welcome goodies and dog treats. The Crown Pub is so lovely and welcoming! Pies are amazing!! We also went to Mundesley one evening and had fish and chips located at The Ship Inn. We also tried the village chippy in Mundesley which was also good. We took our doggies to the Doggie Diner in Cromer, which they loved. Bacton Woods is lovely, Sheringham is also lovely. We will be back as we loved it here and still lots to go and see!! Would love to retire here, my hubby is already planning! Many thanks Sue and Sean! xx
Michelle & Maisie – June 2023
We really enjoyed our stay at Ha’Penny Cottage. Its beautiful and our dogs loved it. The Crown Inn in Trunch was so lovely and welcoming and the pies are amazing. Fish and chips at the Ship Inn in Mundesley was lovely.
Bacton Woods is really lovely and dogs enjoyed it
The Doggie Diner in Cromer is good fun. Sheringham is also a lovely visit. We will be back.
Zoe, Alan, Alfie, Freddie and Mabel – July 2023
My husband and I have not been able to take a holiday for many years due to one thing and another. I was trying to find a location 2-3 hours drive from home that could take our four dogs. It’s always been difficult to find suitable locations accepting multi dogs as part of the booking.
Imagine my delight when i came across Pack Holidays offering a range of holiday locations exactly where I envisioned us going. Gail could not have been more helpful and the booking was a breeze. Every aspect explained and kept informed so when we arrived at the cottage it was pleasantly straight forward. We chose Ha’Penny Cottage as it primarily had a wonderful, safe enclosed garden. One of our dogs is a notorious Houdini. We wanted to be able to relax and at Ha’Penny Cottage we could do just that. The cottage is completely dog orientated. Everything thought of to make the hoomans life easier.
The cottage is immaculate, plenty big enough for us and has every amenity we could hope for.
Local walks and dining out really just made the holiday exactly as we hoped. Love to go back again. We’ve come home recharged and relaxed.
Aidan and family – July 2023
We have had a lovely week in this peaceful village location. The cottage has got everything you could want and more. Some great walks around here in this so very peaceful village. The sun was shining most days and we had some great days some great days out at at the beaches in Mundesley, Bacton and Walcott We also visited local pubs where we were served good beer and lovely meals, especially at the Crown here in Trunch. The Vernon Arms in Souothrepps and for a special treat The Gunton Arms. Thanks for your lovely welcome hamper which was just grand. (Wine very good) Hope to visit this lovely cottage gain soon. Thanks for everything.
Christina and Scott, Wookiee and Norman – July 2023
We love Norfolk and this cottage is perfectly located for our favourite places, Mundesley, Cromer and Sheringham. It’s such a well equipped and comfortable cottage, the dogs immediately felt at home and enjoyed garden and dog biscuits. The memory foam shaggy rug was a real hit with Wookiee, so much so we didn’t need the crate at all!!
Thank you for a lovely short break, we would highly recommend Ha’Penny Cottage to everyone!
Recommend fish and chips at No 1 Cromer, beach walks at Mundesley, ice creams at Sheringham (real Norfolk ice cream at Ronaldos), food at Smallsticks Cafe, Shire Horse Sanctuary at West Runton, Alpaca walking two miles away.
Jan and Martin – July 2023
Perfect week in your wonderful cottage. Thank you for the wonderful hamper all the lovely goodies. Great beach walks and in the woods. We had fab weather, only rain was Friday afternoon, excuse to watch the tennis.
We plan to move to this area asap – this is a great base to look for our forever home.
We had lunch at The Lighthouse Inn, Walcott, great food and dog friendly
This was the best dog friendly cottage we have stayed in. We are already planning our return.
Beaches – Winterton, Gorleston, Bacton, Mundesley all beautiful and dog friendly
Woods at Bacton
Eateries – Lighthouse Inn at Walcott, Fishermans Return at Winterton, Sea Marge at Overstrand.
Cottage is wonderful, everything you need.
Trevor and Tina – July 2023
Lovely cottage and our doggies loved the garden. It is ideal to see North Norfolk with beautiful villages to explore. Beaches are great and so dog friendly. Everyone makes you feel welcome and happy to tell you about the area.
We have had a very happy experience here.
Thank you
A, S, D, J, R and B xx – July 29, 2023
Wow! What can we say? What a fantastic place to stay! Everything you could possibly want for hoomans and doggies was here. So many dog beds and bowls! Our dogs were so comfortable here, as were we, a real home from home. A huge thanks to Gail for being there for us and for sorting out a doggy buggy for Raff, he definitely couldn’t have got through the week without it. This is the best dog friendly place we have ever stayed in and we will return home refreshed from our chilled out holiday. Will recommend to everyone! Thanks again
Emma, Chris Maddie Mollie, WIllow and Lola –August 7, 2023
Fantastic holiday from start to finish! Booking was easy and Gail was very helpful. We stayed at Ha’Penny Cottage in Trunch which was lovely. It was like home from home and even the dogs settled in quickly! We have had a fantastic stay in your cottage. It is modern clean comfortable and quiet too. The location is ideal for local walks and you’re only a short drive away from other places too.
We’re first time dog owners and this is our first holiday with them so we were unsure of what to expect but we’ve had a fantastic holiday. The pups felt settled right away and Lola loved the memory foam bed. Willow loved the secure garden where she could run round with her beloved tennis ball.
As we have kids to entertain as well as the doggies, we’ve ventured out every day and a few of our favourite spots are
– Cromer, Sheringham, Great Yarmouth, Horsey gap is a must to swim with the seals (the water is warmer too) and Wroxham for a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads (the dogs loved this too).We also went into Norwich but probably wouldn’t go back as not loads to do with dogs.Take the weather forecast with a pinch of salt, we had rain forecast most days but only had the odd shower. It was still warm even when cloudy. Rest of the week was lovely and sunny.If you are looking for a nice meal out, the Vernon Arms in Southrepps is only a 5 min drive awayThank you Sue and Sean for a lovely holiday. We will be back if you will have us
Val, Yan and Bob – August 14, 2023
This is a superb cottage in a perfect location – easy to reach all the beaches and Broads.The cottage is fabulous, with everything you could possibly need for hoomans and dog family members. Bob loved the window sill seat – like most Westies he likes to see out and survey his kingdom!Garden is lovely and a peaceful haven at the end of a busy day – Quiet glass or two in the sunshine -perfect!Loved The Gunton Arms – not so much the CrownAlso at the Vernon ARms and The Ship – both good. Sue and Sean have provided a real home from home
Kathryn, Alexa and Sonny – July 26, 2023

Phil Karen and Elland the Westie –September 10, 2023
Had a fantastic week (couldn’t have wished for better weather!) Must say we found the cottage to be the best equipped of any we have previously stayed in and the sofas and bed were very comfortable. Eland loves the grey memory foam rug in front of the fireplace! Im going to have to invest in one for homePerfect location for visiting the beautiful Norfolk coast and thanks to Sue about the heads up for Trimingham Beach, a real hidden gemWill recommend to friends and hope to visit again ourselves.Many thanks Sue Sean Dougie and PebbblesThank you for the wonderful hamper x
The cottage is amazing and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The dogs loved the homemade biscuits.Only one day of rain, but that didnt spoil our time head . The dogs loved the beaches and their walks at the end of the villageGreat days in Wroxham wit a boat trip on the Broad and a visit to the lovely pet shop for holiday toysAnother day spent at the Steam MuseumNice beach walk next to the windmill and I loved the placards above the prehistoric findsFound the Norfolk cider shop and stocked upNice fish and chips at Mundesley, and no bother from the gullsThe dogs loved the garden, Poppy loved the orthopaedic bed, I shall have to get one now.

Barry, Angela, Harris and Wallace –September 23, 2023
Thank you so much for a wonderful week in a truly beautiful cottage. You really have thought of everything we might need and the lovely hamper was very much appreciated.
Wallace and Harris have had an absolute blast – loved chasing the pigeons in the garden They especially loved the pub and visited it 3 times. They even helped mum and dad win the pub quiz (and the locals were very nice about it too!)
Wallace has been a very brave boy as he is scared of (most!) traffic and took a ride on the miniature railway from Aylsham to Wroxham and a boat trip of the Norfolk Broads. Both boys were very well behaved and Harris loved all the attention. Apparently Scotties are not common in Norfolk. Thanks so much.

We had a lovely week in a well equipped and comfortable cottage, ‘Dusty’ in particular liked visiting The Crown (Trunch), The Ship (Mundesley) and the Ship (Weybourne)We had lovely walks on Mundesley beach and Pigney Wood – we would also recommend driving to Weybourne and walking on the coastal path (in the direction of Sheringham) and Weybourne Station (by Kelling Heath and Weybourne Station).Sea food in Sheringham (lobster, prawns, crayfish)

Sergey, Victoria, Lucky, Julia, Bobhi and Buster – October 7, 2023
Had a great three days break here. We were worried that our journey to the house will take us on many country lanes though it was the opposite and easy to get here and find the house.We found the house well equipped for dogs (we had 4 with us). Even though we came prepared, if guests are travelling light or forget something, they will find all they need for doggies here.The house is very clean and tidy throughout, well stocked in the kitchen and living room. Comfortable sofas and seating area in general.The place is well located to be able to both walk and drive to various beaches that are dog friendly (out of season). Our dogs enjoyed walking there (it was the first time they have seen the sea)All in all, very pleased and will definitely recommend this place. Thank you SuE
Thank you for a very relaxing 3 day break at your lovely cottage,Unfortunately, we arrived with one of our dogs post-op, so we were limited with excursions. Our 2 Rommies loved running around on Mundesley beach (closest beach and great for escape artist dogs!)We had an OK takeaway from The Crown and great takeaway from New Sage Chinese Restaurant in Mundesley – highly recommend if you are house bound!Thank you also for the crate for our poorly pup.

I can honestly say that this is the best place ever.

Our first stay at Trunch and must say couldn’t have asked for a more lovely cottage. The cottage is clean, comfortable and more than well equipped for both 2 and 4 legged guests.We all felt totally at home and thoroughly enjoyed our few days of peace away from the busy work world.We enjoyed local walks and dogs favourite is Bacton Woods. Holt is definitely worth a trip, so very pretty with all the lights.Had two very nice meals out at The Suffield Arms and The Vernon Arms both dog friendlyWill defo recommend Ha’Penny Cottage to allWe are enjoying working our way through all the cottages
Keith Jenny and our three Westies – December 1, 2023
Amazing cottage equipped with everything you could needPerfect for dogs with walks from the doorstep and great beaches nearbyIt was really clean and well presented throughoutThanks for an amazing stay! We hope to be back in the future.
An excellent cosy cottage for an enjoyable stay. The cottage is decorated perfectly especially a lovely comfy bed. Everything you need is here. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery / glasswareThe garden is lovely for the boys to wander although there is a persistent pigeon that is annoying BobbyThe pubs have been nice that we have visited around the area but the beach was cold and blustery the day we went. I hope any of the WAG members who stay here enjoy it as much as us. Thank you Sue and SeanThank you for the goodies and wine
Ha’Penny Cottage is amazing, despite horrendous weather we had a lovely time and when its so bleak outside, we really appreciated coming back to an amazingly cosy cottage.The welcome pack and doggy extras were really appreciated for the hoomans it was probably the most well equipped place we have stayed. A real home from home. Thank you!

Rated 5out of 5Lynn,Tony, Maddie & MeganLast minute booking at this cottage. Heard about it from WAG (Westie Advice Group) and have wanted to visit for a long time now.One of our westies is diabetic and last year when we visited the beach she was blind. Just waited her to run on the beach with ‘seeing eyes’ and her diabetes is stable so booked the cottageCant overdo the walks and exercise so spent quite alot of time in the cottageAbsolutely immaculate, everything spotlessly clean and freshly washed. You would not know it was used by lots of dogsMy two loved the rug and relaxed immediately they came through the door after the initial explorationThe whole cottage oozed qualityWill definitely return and hope to see more of the area, theres a lot to exploreThank you Sue and Sean, you have a little gem here, We’ve loved our stay, lots of westie indicators throughout the cottage, loved themPS thank you for the delightful hamper of doggie treats, they loved them!Rated 5out of 5Sue & Liam, Holly, Kendal, Libby & Lincoln (the field spaniels) – December 2nd, 2024This was our 2nd visit to this beautiful cottage at this time of year. Fabulous spot to come for a chill out. Lovely walks with the dogs, lovely meals out and just time to relax. The cottage is stunning and equipped with everything. Spotlessly clean and will definitely recommend. Thank you again. Rated 5out of 5Judy, Lev, Loki, Val & Willow – Nov 18 - 28, 2024Fabulous cottage, felt at home immediately. Amazing walks from the doorstep which was great for the dogs. The garden is completely secure and the dogs had fun chasing the lights on the trees!! I don’t think we have ever stayed in a property where the dogs have slept so much. They just loved the underfloor heating. They have lived their best life for the last 10 days and they will be disappointed to go home! We have all enjoyed every minute. Thank you Sue & Sean Rated 5out of 5Joe and Terry (Luna and Judy) – October 18, 2024Very well stocked with essential.Love the very secure garden.Very Nice!
From the minute you step through the door, this warm, cosy & welcoming cottage feels like home. Sue & Sean make sure that everything you AND your dog could possibly need is there (Bella loved the comfy cushion placed over the back of the sofa - strategically placed so that she had full vantage point for the comings and goings up the street) The cottage is so well located for lovely local walks, or within a 10-15 minutes drive, you have a selection of beaches to go to. The local pub, The Crown, was very welcoming & friendly for a solo female (plus 4 legged friend) and had a great varied menu to cater for all tastes. The link to the cottage handbook and local area that is sent before hand covers everything in great detail so you can enjoy your break as soon as you arrive (and the welcome pack was such a lovely touch) Am so excited to have already booked to go back for Christmas with the family. Can highly recommend, it’s genuinely one of the nicest dog friendly cottages I’ve stayed at.
September. 14-21-2024 We would like to thank Sue and Sean for letting out their lovely Ha’penny cottage. It the first time we have stayed there. And we had a very lovely week with our two westies Willow and Hamish. The weather was nice to. The cottage is so dog friendly with everything you could think of or need for your fur baby’s. And the food hamper was so nice what a lovely gift! . The cottage is so clean and it a lovely village with lots of dog walks and not to far to the beach it was Willow and Hamish first time at the beach and they both loved the freedom. We definitely will be back as there is so much more we would like to do with them. 5 out of 5 for everything about our stay and the lovely homely cottage. Irene Michael Willow and Hamish. 🐶🐾☀️
Just got back from a lovely 2 weeks at Ha'penny Cottage. Everything we needed for a fabulous relaxing break. Clean, comfortable and extremely dog friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.
